Chosen solution

Use the Aurora build of Firefox if your device does not ship with the Play Store or you don't want to have a Google account.

Open the 'Play Store' app on your phone and search for Firefox.

I enabled the Play Store app but it dies, screen winks off, comes back but no running of any app.

Where is Mozilla's down load?

I enabled a few more google apps and now the Play Store app takes me to a google login screen looking for a google account ....

This is a security issue, I prefer to down load from the Mozilla site and not some 3rd party web site.
Does Mozilla offer a down load or not?

While this is true for the Firefox desktop version, the Google Play store is the official distribution channel for the Android version.
